Two different opinions - what do I do now??

Hello Dr - I'm sorry to post another question. (this is in reference to my recurrence question posted last week) I had my appointment with my Gyne/onc in Toronto on Wednesday and he tells me that he viewed my CT scan and he doesn't see anything.
How can that be??? Why would a radiologist at my local hospital say they found two masses, and my onc see nothing? He told me that if there was something, he would be shocked if it were cancer at this point and that it's more likely scar tissue. Can scar tissue develop a year later? This has been the worst week of my life and now I have to wait another 2-3 weeks for my gyne/onc's radiologist to evaluate my scan. I'm just so confused...

My oncologist told me one time that scar tissue pain can come years later.
Good luck--yes third opinion.

Hi Becky,
That is hard. In my mind if there is confusion about a scan, the best thing is to have a third radiologist read it. Ask your gyn onc if he reviewed the scans with a radiologist.
By the way, how is your back pain?
take care
